    amazing conchas! stopped by this morning and grabbed a handful for about 15$ service was nice

    A bundle of joy during the holidays -- half a dozen hot tamales for lunch.
    Doug L.

    The holidays are not the holidays without Tamales. Half a dozen hot red pork tamales are a bundle of joy. They make them without the corn husk but that doesn't matter. They are a nice size not huge but the quality and taste are phenomenal. The masa is not dense and dry instead soft velvety texture paired with a moist melt in your mouth pork with a mild tasty red sauce. I asked for five but the senora said how about a six -- why not! My wife asks me always to not go crazy and get too much but I will definitely eat them. We like to exchange home made eggs rolls for homemade tamales with our friends in Compton at their local bakery and restaurant but after five decades and several generations they retired about a year ago. This time of year and actually any time you feel like a great authentic homemade tasting tamale come here. You won't be disappointed though you may need to bring extra napkins and sit in your car since there's no tables -- it's pretty much all to go. But I don't think you will be able to wait till you get home. I couldn't. Enjoy and happy holidays!

    Bread is good. The green tamales are my favorite. Tried the jello today that they have in the fridge and it was good, I really liked it. My husband likes the pizza bagel

    Happy Valentine's Day 2025! They had cute heart-shaped conchas today!

    What's the average price for a dozen tamales?

    $24.50 is what I paid just this month. As I noted in my post, it's a bit more pricey than what others might sell for 1 dozen, but our families love them!! =)

    National Cake Day Review: Paris Baguette Edition…read more Since National Cake Day (11/24) is basically my Super Bowl, I strutted into Paris Baguette like a contestant on The Great British Bake Off--minus the talent, plus the hunger. I walked in knowing one thing: I was getting my BOGO cake, and nothing was going to stop me. Not traffic, not temptation, not even my kid asking "Do we really need more cake?" (Yes. Always yes.) I grabbed a slice of Mocha cake and a slice of Ganache. Meanwhile, my kiddo innocently picks an iced coffee, which triggers my inner rewards-program gremlin. Suddenly I'm cashing in my rewards like I'm on a pastry-themed game show and--boom--free chocolate almond croissant. Flaky. Chocolatey. Almondy. Honestly, it was giving "main character energy." The staff? Friendly. The store? Clean. The treats? So heavenly I'm pretty sure angels were harmonizing somewhere above the pastry case. And listen--calories at Paris Baguette don't count. They're like honorary calories. Decorative calories. Prestige calories. Since it's also my birthday week (11/26!), I fully consider this visit "research" for my upcoming celebration. If cake is wrong, I don't want to be right. In conclusion: Paris Baguette, you won National Cake Day. Congratulations. I'll expect my trophy in croissant form.

Last week, we have been to Buena Park Paris Baguette and ordered a few breads like salt bread and some pastries but we could not finish them due to awkward tastes. You can easily compare their tastes with other Korean bakery nearby. They need to improve the quality and also the rip off prices vs the quality. May not go to Paris Baguette again being afraid of the no taste breads.

The process was so simple and easy, I just sent an email inquiry and as soon as I heard back from them (1-2 days after), I called to place and confirm my order. For custom cakes, they require a deposit, and then the rest of the payment can be made near or on the pick-up date. They also go over their policy with you over the phone. My sister was very particular of how she wanted her birthday cake. She specified that she wanted a carrot cake with cream-cheese frosting, heart-shaped, baby-blue in color with sparkles, and have black bows. The bakery doesn't make any non-edible add-ons so I had to provide the black bows, and it turned out absolutely beautiful that we didn't want to eat it! Carrot cake was delicious, we all enjoyed it. Amazing job, and will definitely be back. Thank you Sugar Mamas Cakes and Bakery!

They need a few weeks heads up before you place any customizable cake order. Would absolutely love if they had a small cafe inside for a coffee and a mini cupcake.

For this first trip, I found myself enchanted by the more traditional Korean pastries - the sweet potato creamy red bean bun, the curry croquette, the salt breads and rice crackers (one of their most popular items they said.) Most everything costs between $3-5. What a steal! I ordered their new item -- a banana latte made with their own banana syrup and cold foam to go with a double shot of espresso. It was tasty though seeing the old timers with their hot brewed coffees and bean buns made me wish I'd gotten something hot too. All in all, I had a great time at Cafe Bleu and can't wait to come back and try some new things. There are lots of tables and plenty of room to meet up with friends or work or do your homework.

One thing to note for anyone with nut allergies: although the ingredient label only listed almonds, there seemed to be other nuts present as we experienced an allergic reaction despite not being allergic to almonds.
